ignates much of its aid for specific projects designed to strengthen political reforms in recipient countries, which can affect rights and democracy directly by building civil society or strengthening institutions. However, the EU’s efforts to promote democracy and human rights through its aid giving face well known problems.

Following the transition of most African states to democracy in the s, civil society was widely regarded as essential to facilitate these transient democracies into consolidation. This thesis sets out to deconstruct the role of civil society in the democratic consolidation process of Ghana and Nigeria. Ghana’s experience since the early s indicates that external aid can significantly impact a country’s democratic transition. External democracy assistance has been a crucial, positive factor in Ghana’s steady evolution into an electoral democracy over the past two decades. Continuing gaps in the quality of Ghana’s democracy confirms, however, that even sustained external support.
